Chapter 827  : Something Big Happened

The Long family was in chaos.

Ever since Fu Jiuxiao left, most of the businesses in the Long family, which had always been in the gray area, were in trouble.

Before Fu Jiuxiao started to suppress and deal with them, he created a storm on the Internet again.

All Long Zhan could do was push out the people in charge one by one as a shield, but he could not stand it if it were to happen too often.

There were fewer and fewer people available around him.

Long Ying’s arm was in a cast and hung around his neck. He looked at Long Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat of the restaurant, putting down his chopsticks. His face was gloomy, and he felt sad and desolate.

For example, the manager who was pushed out yesterday was one of his younger cousins. When he was selling drugs, he met a live streamer.

His younger cousin had his subordinates beat up the streamer and was prepared to kill him and throw him into the river.

This scene was synchronized to the live broadcast room and spread online.

The police rushed to save the streamer and also caught his younger cousin and other business partners.

What a joke.

The live streamer was praised. His younger cousin was sent to the detention center to await the next trial.

“Grandpa!” Long Gui walked up to Long Zhan. Wearing a light-colored floral dress, she did not look like the Young Miss of the Long family at all, but more like a normal young girl next door.

She was the most special existence in the Long family.

Long Zhan only nodded. “You go upstairs first.”

“No, I don’t want to go.” Long Gui shook her head and squatted down beside Long Zhan, leaning on his knee, very obedient.

Madam Long poured a bowl of soup for Long Zhan and said, “You guys talk. I’ll take Long Gui upstairs.”

Long Gui really did not have a good impression of Long Zhan’s wife who was younger than Long Zhan by ten years. However, she still called her ‘grandma’ according to her seniority.

She gently pushed Madam Long’s hand away and said, “Grandma, I have something to say to grandpa.”

A flash of dissatisfaction flashed across Madam Long’s eyes. She also did not like the children of the Long family. However, she still smiled amiably in front of Long Zhan and said, “Alright, you go first. I’ll wait for you.”

Long Gui looked at Long Zhan and said, “Grandpa, I’m the Young Miss of the Long family. I can also work for the Long family.”

Long Zhan was very tired. No matter how much he doted on this little granddaughter of his, he was not in the mood to talk about these things now. He said perfunctorily, “I understand. You can go upstairs.”

Mrs. Long put her arm around Long Gui’s shoulder and gently advised, “Don’t disturb your grandfather. Let’s go upstairs.”

Was she disturbing him?

Long Gui clenched her fists. She felt that she was in a wealthy environment in the Long family and was content to enjoy herself, but she did not seem to have accomplished anything.

The Long family seemed to love her very much and indulged her, which also meant that they isolated her from the family business.

She did not even have the right to take responsibility.

Long Gui took a deep look at Long Zhan and prepared to follow Madam Long upstairs.

Assistant Cheng, who was beside Long Zhan, appeared at the door and was invited over by the butler.

“President Long, something happened,” Assistant Cheng said in a hoarse voice.

How serious of a matter could it be?

Long Zhan frowned in annoyance. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Assistant Cheng hoped that Long Zhan could go to the study, but seeing that everyone at the dining table was the person-in-charge of the Long family’s business, there was nothing to hide.

On this day, another major incident had happened.

“Deputy Director Lin booked a small online celebrity restaurant and invited his colleagues for a meal, but in the end...”

“There was an explosion in the kitchen, which blew up the surrounding business suits.”

Long Zhan immediately interrupted Assistant Cheng’s words and asked anxiously, “How many people were injured? Did something happen to anyone?”

Compensation was definitely necessary.

However, if it was just injured people, they could still afford it.

Assistant Cheng braced himself and said, “We’re lucky that we weren’t seriously injured.”

Someone mumbled, “Then we might as well be dead.”

“Shut up. What do you know?” Long Zhan shouted.

If someone died in this accident, it would push the Long family back into the limelight. Many pairs of eyes were watching them. They could not afford to lose any more lives.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Long Zhan was thinking about the compensation issue. As long as it could be solved with money, it was not a big deal.

Assistant Cheng braced himself and said, “The rescuers found the underground casino. Deputy Director Lin was slightly injured. He asked for full authority to deal with this matter. I’m afraid it can’t be suppressed any longer.”

What did they find?

The Long Corporation’s chain restaurants were all small, single-story buildings. There were mainly business receptions and snacks in the form of internet celebrities. However, the underground restaurant was a luxurious casino.

This was a secret that only senior members would know. They could freely squander their time and money in the casino.

In the end, a restaurant that had been reserved for a party today blew up the casino.

Long Zhan had a thought. This Deputy Director Lin had never liked the Long family. Could it be done on purpose?

It could not be.

Long Zhan gnashed his teeth and said, “First push a person-in-charge out to block the gun. Then, withdraw all the people from the other casinos.”

It was impossible for deputy director Lin to get the order to search every property under the Long family’s name. As long as he did it cleanly, nothing would happen.

As for who was in charge...

“Grandpa!” Long Gui’s voice came again.

She ran quickly to Long Zhan and said anxiously, “Let me be in charge.”

Who could be in charge?

A delicate Young Miss of the Long family who had never been involved in these shady businesses?
